Disabled people get nervous when illness is mentioned on Twitter. My eyesight frequently betrays me on steps. I will never go down a flight of stairs without looking like an old man. (That said, I DO think Trump is Not Well.)

Lots of tweets about this clip & the one of Trump drinking water during his speech. I call this phenomenon “diagnosing by gif.” This is a key element of the #IllnessPolitics that circulates on social media. https://t.co/VDK4rLa1rw
